Watch Ted Cruz Get Booed Off The Stage By Angry Trump Supporters At The Republican Convention

Following Donald Trump’s eventful, if not brilliant, interruption of Ted Cruz’s televised rally on Wednesday, reporters and pundits were left wondering whether the former presidential rival would endorse his bitter enemy. After all, from Cruz’s standpoint, such would amount to commending the nomination and potential White House career of the same man who repeatedly insulted his wife (among other family members) on the campaign trail. Well, now we finally know whether the junior Texas senator is willing to lend his name to Trump’s presidential efforts.

The answer is most assuredly no.

Sure, Cruz congratulated Trump on officially becoming the Republican party’s presidential nominee, but he never mentioned HIS name again. Instead, he spent most of the long, intricate, and ideologically focused speech discussing conservative ideals and what the perfect GOP candidate would be and do, some of which didn’t necessarily ring true with Trump’s many campaign promises.

Hardcore Trump supporters among the delegates, especially the New York delegation, took offense to Cruz’s attempts to sidestep their nominee and began shouting “We Want Trump!” and “Endorse Trump!” through the speech. Cruz smiled at the interruption, joking that he “[appreciated] the enthusiasm of the New York delegation.” Yet the senator never did endorse the New York real estate mogul, instead opting to finish his 23-minute speech and leave the stage amidst a chorus of boos. It was a scene unlike anything we’ve seen at a modern national political convention, as presidential historian Michael Beschloss noted.

Considering their rather combative history, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Cruz decided not to endorse Trump. Not only did the latter interrupt the speaker’s midday rally, but he also entered Quicken Loans Arena at the beginning of Cruz’s remarks so as to distract as many cameras as possible. It worked.

I dont like Ted Cruz, but you know what? Good for him. You accuse my dad of complicity in the assassination of a sitting president and insult my wife’s appearance? You can jump off a fucking bridge for all I care.

Cruz started the whole issue of bringing wives into the campaign in a negative light with that stunt in Utah. He’s a scumbag on a level worse than Trump because he honestly believes he has the righteous moral high ground in all things. I certainly hope this ended his political career and the GOP can run an actual candidate in 2020…

@The Curse of Marino I agree with everything you said, but I think if you’re going to take that route, you go balls to the wall. I would have liked to have seen less of a half-assed approach to it. Drop some fire.

I believe the 1st grade action was when cruise put Trumps wife in a racy campaign add, then called foul when Trump returned the favor. Like it all wasn’t some ploy to bait Trump into doing what everyone knew he would do anyway…

And for the record since you apparently can’t read, I’m not defending anyone in this shit show. To imply otherwise indicates your ignorance and bias.

For 8 years the Republicans have been the political equivalent to the kid in the back of the class who contributes nothing to the process but sh*t talk. Now the Republicans have become so comfortable with their contrived “moral minority” tripe, that they no longer even want to win the presidency. They could have run anyone against Clinton and had a better shot at winning. But instead, they gave US politics this dumpster fire.

More proof that the Trump Campaign is run by complete morons. Who’s bright idea was it to give Ted Cruz a primetime speaking slot right before the VP pick? Shouldn’t he have been scheduled for the first day of the campaign with the other benchwarmers? Actually, who’s bright idea was it to have him speak AT ALL? Completely unnecessary poor decision-making from the Trump campaign.
And on top of that, Ted Cruz delivered the speech that he gave to the Trump campaign beforehand and they APPROVED. Of course no one can control how the crowd reacts to it, but still. They knew what he was going to say before he went out there and they let him go out there. That’s twice now that the Trump campaign has approved someone’s disastrous speech at the RNC without apparently even bothering to critically read it first.
Really all Hillary has to do is stand back and let the Trump Campaign defeat themselves.
